GMTV are at it again-another survey about BFing

225 replies

SofaKingFedUpOfSnow · 15/01/2010 07:01

here

I completed it out of curiosity. Some of the questions are really loaded and negative about BFing.

I've pointed out to them that they're not exactly unbiased as one of their major sponsors is nestle.

GMTV, for example, are a bunch of gaping twats.

Have completed and vented spleen in the comments box. Don't think I was too eloquent, too angry!

Might repeatedly complete the 'survey' each time I do a night feed.

Disclaimer: cat deserves it.

I agree on the questionnaire being a load of cow shite and I haven't even got kids.

Also I watched that interview. Dr is a tosspot to say the least and jesus Greenmonkies is very beautiful and I love her hair!

BoobBuffet · 15/01/2010 20:15

Was just getting DP to do it and can't find it anymore!?

Are the twats now running scared? (or am I just dim-witted?)

Bicnod · 15/01/2010 20:21

BB me too - was just trying to show DH and can't find it...

becksydee · 15/01/2010 20:22

yep, it's gone from the home page ...

but here is a direct link

Bicnod · 15/01/2010 20:23

excellent, thanks becksy - will get DH to fill it in now

BoobBuffet · 15/01/2010 20:25

Phew, the night time campaign may continue.

becksydee · 15/01/2010 20:27

you're welcome

how long before the survey comes down completely, i wonder?

Ineedmorechocolatenow · 15/01/2010 20:31

Just watched the GMTV clip with Dr Hilary Knob-features..... Jesus wept. What a nasty bastard.....

humptynumpty · 15/01/2010 20:39

Just filled it in
What total shite
What was their alleged reason for comissioning this survey, does anyone know?

KnottyLocks · 15/01/2010 20:43

We could all go and flash our bazookas breastfeed in front of him as he Dances on Ice on Sunday.

A peaceful, if stunning, protest.

PuzzleRocks · 15/01/2010 20:46

Thanks for the link. DH and I have both completed. He actually managed to vent more spleen than me.

RhinestoneCowgirl · 15/01/2010 20:47

What a badly written survey, question 9 particularly confused me. Although my brains could be a little addled by bf my 12 mo earlier this evening...

Thanks to whoever posted the direct link btw!

BoobBuffet · 15/01/2010 20:54

KnottyLocks, I'm in!

Is it possible to do it in a patronising and ill-informed manner a la Dr Twunt?

leeloo1 · 15/01/2010 20:59

'Do you think that a woman shouldn't hardly ever not bare her breasts in public?'

Or somesuch? Huh???

Have filled it in - even said it shouldn't need to be done discreetly (although I always try to do so) just cos I don't want it to be 'used against' BFs - IYSWIM.

Left comment about the poorly worded questions and that it seemed they were suggesting women stayed home til babies were weaned - also pointed out the WHO recommendations on this...

...do you think it'll do any good though?

humptynumpty · 15/01/2010 21:04

has anyone got a link to greenmonkies, want to see this bastard in action!!

KnottyLocks · 15/01/2010 21:08

No BoobBuffet, it important that we retain the moral highground.

What colour tassels you wearing?

leeloo1 · 15/01/2010 21:14

SofaKingFedUpOfSnow Thanks so much for the link to the interview - what a fantastic lady the BFing mum was. Dr(?) Hilary was indeed a twunt and seemed to feel v strongly that BFing was only beneficial to newborns, but the mum countered all his arguments beautifully and eloquently!

I don't watch GMTV, but thought it was good that they gave time in the interview to include all her counter-arguments (and the twunt's poetic winces & grimaces).

BoobBuffet · 15/01/2010 21:20

Was going to make mine out of these

kissyfur · 15/01/2010 21:38

completed and ranted complained at the end! hating the media and their twisted ways right now!

DitaVonCheese · 15/01/2010 22:38

Thanks Hulla for the link. Filled it in, though far less eloquently than many here DH is currently filling it in much more angrily than me!

DitaVonCheese · 15/01/2010 22:40

Humpty the link is in Sofaking()'s post of 19.07

humptynumpty · 15/01/2010 22:42

dita thanks , never saw it!!

humptynumpty · 15/01/2010 22:51

go greenmonkies loved the way you shut up the pompous twat! Also a bit about Lorraine saying you can find out about bf from the gmtv website. Havne't looked personally but don't think I'll be bothering after doing that survey!!

nigglewiggle · 15/01/2010 23:09

I've done the survey, but I can't find the interview.
